Guitarist Mikael Máni
will perform new music with his band from his upcoming second solo album
which was recorded in September 2020.
The music is inspired by
people, movies and sentences which have sculpted his life and character
- things that have encouraged him to think and feel, both good and bad.
The band will also play music from Mikael Máni's debut album, “Bobby”,
which he released with his trio in June 2019 but his compositions for
“Bobby” landed him a nomination for the Icelandic Music Awards of 2020 and
stellar reviews. Mikael’s more recent compositions introduce a new
genre, namely “Jarm” which mixes jazz, impressionism and rock. The
band members all have different musical backgrounds, ranging from
classical and contemporary music to pop and jazz, enriching the
music with a fresh and ear-catching soundscape.
